On this day, the temperature dropped to the lowest point of the year, and snowflakes finally began to fall in and out of the city, leaving a vast expanse of white.

"The first snow this year came later than before." In the private room of Chunfeng Garden, Lu Gang couldn't help but said while looking at the snowy scene outside the window.

Next to him, Liang Chuanshan, dressed in his usual dark-carved brocade clothes, drank the hot wine in his cup, exhaled a breath of hot air, and felt much more relaxed.

"It's been a long time since I've been here, but I still feel at home here."

In the past six months, Liang Chuanshan had been busy with his duties as director, establishing contacts, establishing prestige, and reorganizing the Patrol Division. He wished he could live in the Patrol Division every day, rarely having time for leisure.

Now that I have finally stabilized my position as director, and after sorting out everything, I have time to take my two confidants, Lu Gang and Song Changming, back to Chunfeng Garden.

A young girl wearing gauze clothes was pouring tea and wine for the three of them. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile after hearing what Liang Chuanshan said.

She knew that the person in this private room was a big shot in Houli Street, so she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She just said softly: "If you feel comfortable, you can come here often. Mother Liu specifically said that this is the best private room." , reserved exclusively for you, no other distinguished guests will be entertained.”

"Haha, okay." Liang Chuanshan was very happy. This is the benefit that power brings.

Now in the Houli Street area, he can be regarded as a first-class big shot.

Wherever I go, I am treated with great courtesy and respect.

Even though he has a relatively calm temperament, he is now very proud of himself and is being praised a bit by people everywhere.

Song Changming glanced at Liang Chuanshan and said nothing.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the power and status he has earned through hard work. This is the reward he deserves as a winner.

As long as you keep your head clear at all times, don't make big mistakes, and don't touch taboos.

After drinking for three rounds, Liang Chuanshan waved his hand and asked the woman serving him to retreat.

With only the three of them left, there is no need to think too much about what to say.

"I heard a while ago that the eldest son of the county governor's family has returned from the court. Recently, the county governor seems to be interested in expanding the army." Liang Chuanshan leaned against the corner of the screen, twirling the wine glass in his hand, and told the news he had learned.

"Is there going to be a war?" Lu Gang couldn't help but ask.

The first possibility that came to his mind was to take action against the Teng Crow Mountain bandit army.

Liang Chuanshan narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said: "On the surface, the county guards have only expanded two small-scale partial armies. Counting the original Donglai County soldiers, there are almost 10,000 troops. This is almost what the central court allows the county guards to do. The largest military scale it has.

In fact, the county guard suddenly expanded two partial armies of hundreds of people this time just to deceive others. He really wanted to use this to recruit private soldiers. "

"Private soldiers?!" Lu Gang was stunned and couldn't help but said: "If this is found out, it will be a serious crime that will result in dismissal and exile."

Song Changming on the side also looked at Liang Chuanshan.

Compared to the Sheriff's recruitment of private soldiers, he was more curious about the fact that this was a serious crime and should be hidden again and again, with extreme caution, so that no one knew about it.

How did Liang Chuanshan, the director of the Divisional Patrol Division with no background, know this?

Liang Chuanshan smiled and said: "In the six months since I became the director, I have heard many things that I may never have been exposed to.

For example, although the recruitment of private soldiers is a serious crime, it is difficult to define and confirm.

On the surface, the private soldiers recruited by these county guards can be disguised as the disciples recruited from the world. They can be their own disciples, domestic servants, or even tenant farmers on the family farm, etc.

Private soldiers can have many identities, as long as they are not generals of the army. You must know that this is the territory of our county guard, so it is not difficult at all to fake it.

In fact, as far as I know, the governor of every other county has more or less hidden private soldiers. This is not surprising. As long as the county has a large population and sufficient food, the governor can afford to raise private soldiers. .

What really surprises me is the number of private soldiers our county guard has recruited this time. I am afraid it has exceeded 10,000 people! "

Lu Gang took a breath when he heard this.

What is the concept of more than 10,000 people? This is just the result of one fundraising.

Listening to Liang Chuanshan's tone, the total number of private soldiers under their governor's command is much higher, perhaps even tens of thousands!

"What are our county guards going to do?" Song Changming on the side couldn't help but ask.

He actually wanted to say that word already.

Is this the rhythm of rebellion?

Liang Chuanshan shook his head and did not say any more.

The word rebellion is so sensitive that it is difficult to blurt it out even in private discussions.

"Anyway, it's good that you have heard about this matter. Remember not to spread it outside, or be careful of misfortunes coming from your mouth." Liang Chuanshan reminded.

He would only talk about this matter with Lu Gang and Song Changming, his two truly trusted confidants.

In fact, in the past, he always approached Lu Gang and Song Changming to discuss or implement many major matters that needed to be discussed, or tasks that were more important to him, just like today.

"Recently, I heard that several of the heirs in the county governor's family are also recruiting clients. I don't know if they are really recruiting talents for themselves, or they are helping the county governor recruit private soldiers."

"."

The three of them drank to their heart's content and sang and danced through the music several times before leaving.

On the way back, Song Changming was still thinking about what Liang Chuanshan said tonight.

With heavy troops in hand, he was not sure whether their governor really had any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

But generally speaking, whether it is rebellion or self-reliance, it requires a suitable background environment and an important opportunity to raise troops.

The current situation in the Great Han Dynasty is relatively stable, and the central imperial power is also stable. Even if there are some turmoil and internal troubles, it will not reach the point where the building will collapse.

During this period, if anyone wanted to rebel or stand on his own feet and be labeled as a rebel, it would undoubtedly be an act seeking death.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before it becomes a big achievement for others.

If you think about it carefully, their county guard wouldn't be so stupid.

At least it is impossible to actually raise troops at the moment.

Song Changming could not predict what the world would be like in the future. For him, the longer the stable life, the better.

In fact, as long as they are not ambitious war madmen, no one will want the world to be in chaos and themselves to be in danger.

"The tree is still but the wind is still blowing. It's useless to think so much. Improving your own strength is the key now. When a crisis comes, the most reliable thing is the knife in your hand."

Song Changming shook his head secretly. At the moment, he was just a small urban patrol chief, and the only source of information was what he heard from Liang Chuanshan. There was really no need to think too much about these things and make assumptions.

After all, just the news from Liang Chuanshan may not be true.

The governor of Donglai County may have other plans.
